The Mute by Bartosz Konopka

WARSAW: Bartosz Konopka’s historical drama The Mute has been picked up by the Paris-based Reel Suspects. The Mute / Krew Boga was produced by Otter Films in coproduction with Polish Odra-Film and Belgium’s Earlybirds Films, and it was supported by the Polish Film Institute.

Bartek Konopka, Przemysław Nowakowski and Anna Wydra wrote the story showing an attempt to christianise a pagan community in an unspecified place and time in the past.

Kino Świat will release the film domestically in 2018.
